It is a nice place to try a selection of tapas! I stopped in for a meal and saw assorted tapas lining the countertops - it's about 2.80 euros for each piece and can pair nicely with a drink if you want to experience tapas with no pressure. Service is limited, and it's a casual bar feel. I'd say it's worth a try if you stay in the tapas bar and don't go further into the restaurant. read more

Great place with high quality food and a very authentic atmosphere. The meat was cooked perfectly and you can really feel the traditional approach to ingredients. Service was friendly and attentive, although at times a bit slow when the place got busy. Overall a very solid experience and definitely worth visiting if you enjoy classic cuisine. Would gladly come back. read more

We stopped in for tapas, but there were no available tables in the front. They happily seated us in the back, but we could only order from the menu. We didn't realize this, but didn't want to leave after we receded. The food was delicious but we were looking for a lighter meal. The ambience was nice but feel the dining room needed some cleaning/updating. The employees were helpful, but we felt rushed to place our order then eat our meal. The menu is limited. Overall, it was a nice restaurant, but if you have a sensitivity to certain foods or are not ready for a large meal, this would not be the place for you. . read more

Aged beef, giant steak for two, red wine, low lighting in the dining room back by the kitchen. It was a little warm in the back, but it was tolerable. We ordered a salad, refreshing and crisp, and they brought out some complimentary chorizo bites. The steak was fantastic, it is automatically cooked as the chef recommends, unless you request otherwise (you won't be asked). How the chef prepared it (between rare and medium rare) was fine with us, we are OK with a good sear and red center, but if you like it closer to medium, you may find this to be too rare and should request a longer cook. Seasoned only with salt, the strong flavor of the beef really comes through. We hardly touched the potato wedges, we were so focused on the beef. Wine prices were shockingly good! This was great for a carnivorous treat. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! A TOTAL TOURIST SCAM AND DAYLIGHT ROBBERY! Our experience at this establishment was nothing short of an absolute nightmare. When a friend in our group asked to try their fish, the waitress suggested the sea bream, without informing us of the market price and weight of the fish served. We saw an outrageous 163.8 euros for a single fish(see photo) when the bill came. Most of their dishes are in the 20-30 euro range, making this charge completely unjustifiable and a blatant ripoff. When we questioned the price, we were told that the weight of the fish was based on the total headcount of the table(3 people), but only 1 person in our party wanted to order the fish. We were blind-sighted from the beginning and felt tricked into this situation. It's clear they target tourists deliberately, knowing we were short on time and unable to argue as we had to rush off to a show. Their predatory practices left us feeling exploited, humiliated, and furious. This wasn't just poor service--it was outright fraud. This horrific experience has ruined the reputation of Sagardi Group and our impression of Barcelona. Instead of enjoying the city's famed hospitality, we left feeling scammed and disrespected. Such establishments have no place in a city that thrives on tourism. We are formally filing complaints with Sagardi group, Síndic de Greuges de Catalunya and the Directorate General for Tourism of Catalonia to ensure that others do not fall victim to this blatant exploitation. Save your wallet, your time, and your sanity--go somewhere else! Let's hold places like this accountable for their deceptive practices! read more

Well they advertise nice looking steak.. So I thought I give it a try.. Went around 6:30 pm only to find out they don't serve dinner until 8pm.. Lame.. Only pre-made tappas. Gave it a try.. No name or description on what they are.. They charge you by the stick. 11 sticks vermuth and water was 34.75 euro.. Vermuth was pretty good. Maybe 2 or 3 out of the tappas were tasty and other was meh... Sardine was definitely way too fishy for me to eat.. Ended up taking a bite and saying oh hell no and spit it out I was disappointed not to be able to try steak and over mediocre tappas and not cheap price left me hungry and annoyed.. Maybe if I ever decided to come here for steak again I might change the review but for now it's a 3 star. read more

This place was recommended by a local. You get any of the tapas and at the end they count it by the toothpick and you pay per toothpick. They were all laid out at the bar, they had plenty of veggie and meat options. The staff was nice and patient with all ingredients related questions. They also have a full menu with meats you can order from. Great option to start your night or for a few drinks. read more

Service and ambiance were good. But we left in a very pissed off state because everything on the menu was about 20-40€ and then were recommended the fish. Didn't tell us the price but we figured it would not be significantly more than other things on the menu. Not only was the fish not very tasty or fresh but it ended up being 120€. We felt cheated because they recommended this to us but it wasn't on the menu and didn't have a price. Because of this type of deception, I can't recommend going here. read more

We expected to have a great experience, the service was good but the food fell short. We started off with a simple salad which actually was very tasty. The ham croquettes were not very good. The meat is what I thought they specialized in was not good at all. I'm not sure what part of the cow they used but the steak was tough and not flavorful. For $80euros, I expected much more! The side of potatoes were mediocre. It was the most disappointing dinner we had in the 2 weeks we were in Europe. The restaurant is very cute though. read more

This was a nice casual restaurant/bar to sample some tapas. It was similar to ordering sushi except it was meat toppings on bread. We didn't get to try the aged steak in the window but maybe next time. Not being able to speak Spanish made us hesitant on what we ordered. Loved being able to see and choose the food at front counter similar to a bakery. Paired this with some beer with lemon juice. I forgot what they called it but it was very refreshing. Similar to a hazy IPA. Would definitely come back here again. read more

Our hotel recommended this restaurant. And we are glad they did. Nice location in the Gothic area, plenty of seating. We started out with some Pintxos, ready made on the counter. The wait staff kept passing around hot pintxos too, so our consumption went up on those! All good. We then ordered the artichoke from the menu and the tiny little fried fishies that were on special. Cava to drink and the night was great! read more

We had a memorable experience. The Blonde Dry-Aged Galician beef was delicious. The meat has almost no funk if you aren't into that. I personally enjoy the blue cheese, nutty, rich scents of long aging, but that's not the choice they made with this restaurant. Valentine advised us very well on the menu, wines and whatever we needed. Overall the service was great and attentive. The ambience within the restaurant is reasonably intimate. I would happily go back. read more

What can I say? This place is exceptional. Their appetizers served throughout the evening, are a la cart and are delicious. Too many to mention, but you can take look and pick what you like. Amazing quality and flavors. Now for the main course: my premium aged steak was the best I have ever had! Charred and medium rare. Every gram of the 600 gram steak was absolutely delicious. PERFECTION! And the service was impeccable. The best we have had in Spain so far. Our server Berni was a super star with a smile. Loved the experience. read more

The food is not up to the quality of the price they are charging. Most of the steak was raw, like not rare, but raw (I normally order medium rare) They didn't ask us how we want it cooked, they just made it like that. They only seer the outside and serve it. And when we asked them if they can cook the rest a little more, they just put it in the oven instead of putting it back on the fire, and also this time they over cooked it, so the result was something really gross. Serving the steak like that would be fine if this was some sort of amazing meat that is just so soft and melts in your mouth even one bra, but it was definitely not that kind. I tried to eat one of the raw pieces and after chewing for 2 minutes, just spit it out. Also the potatoes were awful, dry and stale with no sauce. This is just the kind of place that is designed to try to take as much money from you as possible. They say that it's a 1kg minimum before you sit down, but when you go to order they say that the smallest they have is 1.19 kilogram which is a strategically chosen number to sound like it's not that much more than 1kg (.19) but it's actually basically .2 and costs you an extra €15 on the cheaper meat they have. Again I wouldn't care about any of this if it was cooked right. But they gave me a poorly cooked steak on top of this scammy pricing model. The ambiance is fine, it's good enough for a classy date. read more

Awesome. After hearing about traditional Basque style tapas all trip, we were eager to try this place out on our last night in town and it did not disappoint! So many options. You're able to just walk around and pick whichever tapas you like from atop the display case. Servers also frequently walk around with platters of hot tapas and you can take those as you choose as well. Between my boyfriend and I, we tried close to 20 different tapas and there wasn't a single one I didn't care for. Some favorites were the smoked salmon, the shrimp wrapped in bacon, and the jamon. We washed everything down with Yzaguirre red vermouth which was delicious. When it comes time to pay, they count up the number of toothpicks on your plate and charge you based on that. It was an amazing experience to have freedom to try so many different tapas without feeling like you're annoying a waiter by constantly ordering more, and I think we were able to be a bit more adventurous and choose things we wouldn't normally try since we would only be out 2 euro if we didn't care for it. read more

My friend and I went to Sagardi on the first night we were in Barcelona, and what an introduction to the city! This place was everything we were looking for...awesome food, great atmosphere, and helpful staff! Although a little spendier than other places, you get what you pay for and the quality here definitely did not disappoint! Their pintxos were probably the best we had the entire trip, we loved almost all of the ones we tried! I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, the food was very good and it was a fun experience! As soon as we walked in, all the pintxos were spread out across the bar, and looked amazing...this was our first time here so we asked how the system worked, and were given our plates. You just pick out what you want, and then pay by the toothpick! I think they were about 2 euros per toothpick, which was nice so you could sample many different combinations. There were all sorts...chorizo, peppers, a crab spread, sardines, cheese spreads, bacalao, foie gras, jamon....sweet and savory...so many choices! For the most part they were all heavenly, great combinations of flavors packed on a slice of baguette...you can't go wrong! Such an enjoyable dining experience, you have to go here! read more

I love this little pintxo bar! In a gorgeous part of the city, we stumbled upon this place by accident and wandered inside. The concept is easy: take a plate and help yourself to any of the pintxos you see. All of them are on toothpicks. When you are done, simply show the waiter your plate, he counts up the number of toothpicks, and you pay 2.25 Euro for each toothpick on your plate. A great deal and a plate of these bad boys makes a filling light meal. There are cold items at the bar but watch for hot ones coming out of the kitchen; they are delicious. It's a lot of bread, though, as most items were served on a slice of bread. Sagardi has a nice outdoor seating area as well that overlooks a pleasant square. At night, you can enjoy the music of local musicians (and be prepared to be asked for a "tip" after they perform). read more

This is the alter ego of Irati. The menu looks the same so I don't know why there are two. I had the famous steak a couple of times. Both were very good. The way they prepare it is different from the US steakhouses. Always bone in steaks. The quality of meat is superb if you go for the more expensive aged version. Highly recommended. I have also had grilled whole fish. What can be improved are the appetizers and side dishes. Overall, a great basque restaurant. read more

Sagardi Argenteria - Basque Near Me - Barcelona, B

OMG. This is why we eat at restaurants. This is an absolutely first rate Basque restaurant in the Forn neighborhood. On weekend nights, the neighborhood is filled with armies of young people. By 10 o'clock Sagardi was filled with Barcelonans - large large parties of Barcelonans. Tables of a dozen. Tables of twenty eight. This is clearly a place where a lot of locals go to celebrate major occasions. The front of the restaurant is a pinxto bar. Pinxtos are the basque take on tapas. These are small appetizers served on toothpicks that come in a huge variety of forms and flavors. You eat these standing up while drinking. Your night's entertainment consists of eating a ton of these. The pinxto bar was mobbed. The back of the restaurant is reserved for sit-down dinner. Expect a grande bouffe. The menu offers lots of choices. But we had one of the specialties of the house: Txuleton. Txuleton is a rib eye steak cut up into small flank-steak like slices, with the entire rib with the extra meat served on the side. It is technically "steak" - but it is not like any other steak you have ever had in your life. 1) It is grass fed rather than corn fed. 2) The small slices are majorly charred on the edges and virtually raw on the inside. 3) They intentionally include the fat and the gristle in generous quantities. The fat and the gristle are the main attractions of the dish - even more so than the meat itself. The fat and gristle are seared into rich cooked perfection. There are four taste elements here. Gristle here the star of the show - a warm rich taste sensation. The Fat is there for a taste contrast There is the almost raw meat in the middle - There is also the Medium cooked meat on the edges. Every slice has a different mix of gristle fat, raw center and cooked edge. This means every slice of your steak tastes different. So your main course is a non-stop carousel of changing carnivorous taste treats. And this is not to speak of the actual rib itself which is sitting like a good sized hammer on your plate. The meat that is still on the rib has its own distinctive taste. Your final taste treats however are going to take some work. Most of the easy meat to get has already been cut off the bone. So expect to have to do some major carving and fighting. The struggle is worth it however, since the bone has all sorts of interesting tidbits. Now that is just the main course - for just ONE of their dishes. What else do they got? They have a fantastic free appetizer that comes to your table automatically of tiny grilled basque chorizo cut into bite size slices. The red grease that comes out of these chorizos is wonderful and way better than the red grease that comes out of a Texas supermarket chorizo. You will be putting your bread to good use sopping it up. They have a nifty lettuce salad with a very light dressing that tastes like spring water with a little vinegar and oil to give it tang. This is one of the most refreshing salad dressings I have ever encountered and is a great alternative to our normal and highly cliched vinaigrette. There was an appetizer of peas and black-eyed peas. There was a side dish of grilled peppers. I have had a lot of grilled peppers in Barcelona in the last few days. These were hands down the best. They were not only beautifully cooked, but the actual vegetable itself was much much much tastier than the run of the mill peppers other establishments served. Sometimes good cooking is picking the right ingredients in the first place. With the best food in the market in your grocery bag, you don't need to do a lot of kitchen tricks later. After the peppers, there was dessert. The earth moved during dessert. Dessert was six chocolate truffles made with basque apple cider. This particular Basque cider is called sagardotegia. (Other spellings for this cider exist.) The sagardotegia flavor is intentionally mixed unevenly in the truffle. Some parts taste chocolate-y. Some parts taste creamy. Some parts have the tart but sweet, alcoholic edge of the cider. I died and went to heaven several times as my tongue found all the different parts of the truffle. If you don't want txuleton or truffle, you can get tons of other dishes. The menu includes a number of dishes involving unusual parts of cows or sheep. There are some fascinating stews involving familiar parts of cows and sheep. There are some interesting looking seafood dishes. And of course, there is the huge number of pinxtos you can find at the pinxto bar. They also have a great collection of Basque hard alcoholic spirits including a number of very interesting looking aguardantes. Do I need to mention they have a fine wine cellar as well? The wine drinkers praised the house red to the ceiling - and these were two fussy drinkers who do not like cheap wine. You can have a whole lot of gastronomic fun at this place. I give it a top endorsement. read more

I'm a big fan of this place. The pinchos prepared at Sagardi are great. One thing they make sure is always excellent is the bread. You cannot enjoy a true pincho without a great fresh bread. If trying to get some pinchos and cannot go to the Basque country, Sagardi is your chance to enjoy some great food and drinks. Besides the pinchos, you can also try other amazing food from the Basque country, for exaple, the chuleton. The chuleton is a massive rib eye, from a grass fed cow. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. I always try to come and pay a visit when im town. read more

We visited this pinchos bar during our trip to Spain. When you walk in, you grab a plate and load it up with whatever looks good. The host also helped us order some war, pinchos, which were the best, so I would recommend doing that. Our favorites were the croquetas and the warm goat cheese pincho. When you are finished, they count the number of toothpicks on your plate and you pay based on that. This was probably my favorite tapas place we visited in Barcelona! read more
